The P-Bandai price is 28,600 yen or $263 USD per Google. BBTS is charging a $200 mark up to include proxy fee, shipping and profit. I have shipped Metal Builds for $30-ish, EMS. I would bet bulk freight would be much cheaper. And proxy fees run maybe $20 on the high end. BBTS is making a good profit off of these pre-orders, on top of the non-refundable payment. -
BBTS's pricing for P-Bandai keeps going up with every release. It is getting ridiculous. If they would charge a fair price I might actually buy more stuff from them.

If Bandai is going to do repaints (which was going to happen sooner or later) P-bandai is the appropriate outlet for them. It's a bummer we aren't getting a new Eva since there are plenty still to do. Maybe Bandai is planning on doing repaints as P-bandai releases and have the regular figures as general releases. It would have been nice if Bandai gave us the option to purchase the spear separately, I would have paid P-bandai prices for one. Hopefully we will get an actual new Eva later this year.

Has there been any updates on when P-bandai USA will be putting up the pre-orders today? Assuming that is still happening.

Which size in 1/144 did you get for Advance of Zeta? Small, Medium, Large?

Have you had problems with lacquer paint sticking to your needle when you are spraying? I have recently been testing out lacquer paints with my airbrush and it seems like my primer is coating my needle and it needs a lot of cleaning after use. I am using a Patriot 105 with a .50 or .30 needle. And the primer should be 1:1.5 dilution with thinner. Just wondering if that is normal.

The kit turned out great! Love the heat hawk blade, looks excellent!
-
Thanks for the post. I managed to grab one right before going to sleep.
-
I bet the Justice will be a P-Bandai release. Maybe they will include a hand set for the Freedom and Justice holding hands.
-
Well so much for BBTS, the pre-order sold-out already. The RG Freedom is ok but it uses the old pre-molded inner frame. It isn't as sturdy as recent RG models.
-
Very tempting to grab this while it is available at P-Bandai. No fighting other people for a copy at 3:00am. Might be able to save up enough money before the order window closes since everything is pushed back.

Forgot how difficult/tricky the transformation. Still impressed Bandai pulled this design in the Hi-Metal R scale.
-
Got a bunch of good stuff lately. Just happened to walk into a target hoping to find Red Hulk and found Cosmic Ghost Rider instead. Hasbro did an excellent job. Some lovely Hi-Metal R action. Really hope we see the M&M set this year. I like the mold despite the tricky transformation. Robot Spirits Heavy Gundam. It is smaller than I was expecting but impressed that it can hold up the big gun. And I make financially dumb decisions. Robot Spirits Xamel. The size and effects are very impressive and it has more articulation than I was expecting, considering the suit design. I think the price was a bit high considering it only has a small die-cast frame for the hips.

Thanks guys!!

Quick question, how did you get a web shop exclusive from Amiami? I thought they didn't sell P-Bandai items.
-
Do you sand all the entire surface of the model before you paint? I have heard a few youtubers recommend doing that to get a smooth finish. I have tested on a kit with some armor parts sanded and other pieces left as is. I didn't see any difference.
-
I am going to try that sometime.
-
I don't find the manual paint mixes helpful either. I need up testing a bunch of colors on spoons until there is one I like. Did you repaint the yellow parts also?
-
Very nice, what blue paint did you use?
-
They do carry exclusives when they can; Metal Build Strike Freedom (special color version), Metal Structure Fin Funnels, GFFMC Snow White.
-
Good point, hope Bluefin does carry it.
-
Damn, I thought this would be an easy pass but never mind after watching the video. Surprised this is a P-bandai release considering how much they have used that mold. So I need to find the monies to pre-order or hope that I can find it after release. So then if they are doing the OO suits as P-bandai releases what would be the regular releases for this year? EVA unit 0? Maybe the Crossbone X-1 Full Cloth?
-
I would email customer service and have them verify the shipping cost is correct.
